CPI(M) has reiterated its demand for cancellation of the licences of those private telcos who got the spectrum through the first come first served formula and recover the losses.

Com. Prakash Karat, General Secretary, CPI (M) in a statement said:” It is not enough to arrest a few persons. The Government should cancel these licences and auction the spectrum so that the revenue lost can be recovered.”

CPI(M) was the first to point out to this biggest scam in the country in 2008 itself. Its continuous exposal and also of the other opposition parties had compelled the Government to dismiss Communications Minister A.Raja and appointment of JPC to inquire in the matter.
